From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I do see myself as the bookkeeper, digital archivist and historian of the family. According to a 1821 contract, the bookkeeper at the Teleki Library in Tîrgu Mures (my hometown), used to earn 300 forints and various quantities of wheat, wine, salt and... 52 candles. We inherited such an abundance of information and so many daily life things have become inexpensive and easily available for us, while they used to be considered salary for archivists of the past. I'm glad we have Wikipedia.
